Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of logistics equipment, and more particularly to a tire depot assembly tower. Background Technology

[0002] After the existing tires are assembled, they are usually stacked to save space and achieve rapid transportation. In practice, manual stacking is generally used. However, it is difficult to ensure the concentricity of manually stacked tires, resulting in poor stability and a tendency for the stacked tires to collapse. This reduces work efficiency and consumes a lot of manpower and resources. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is as follows: A tire storage assembly tower is provided, including a tire lifting and conveying system and a tire stacking tower. The tire lifting and conveying system includes a lifting support, an input belt conveyor, and a pushing device. The lifting support includes four pillars, each of which is equipped with a vertically arranged chain conveyor. A fixing block is installed on the chain conveyor. A pallet is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the input belt conveyor and the pushing device. Two reinforcing rods are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the pallet. Two fixing blocks are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom surface of each reinforcing rod. On the top surface of the fixed block, the output end of the input belt conveyor is connected to the pushing device. The pushing device includes a roller frame fixedly installed on the top surface of the pallet, a pushing cylinder fixedly installed on both sides of the roller frame and close to the belt conveyor, a rotating shaft vertically fixed on both sides of the middle of the roller frame, and a rotatable gripper mounted on the rotating shaft. Multiple rollers are rotatably arranged on the roller frame, and a pair of grippers are arranged opposite each other. The side wall of the gripper facing the roller is arc-shaped, and a rotating arm is formed in the middle of the side wall of the gripper away from the roller. The end of the rotating arm away from the roller is hinged to the top of the pushing cylinder.

[0005] Preferably, the tire stacking tower includes a stacking support, an output conveyor is fixedly installed on the lower part of the stacking support, and a baffle is fixedly installed on the side wall of the stacking support away from the tire lifting and conveying system, with the lower edge of the baffle and the top surface of the output conveyor being more than 30cm apart.

[0006] Preferably, the output end of the output conveyor extends into a stacking support.

[0007] Preferably, a laser rangefinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the stacking bracket.

[0008] Preferably, multiple photoelectric sensor switches are evenly spaced on the side wall of the stacking support near the tire lifting and conveying system.

[0009] Preferably, the gripper is rotatably mounted on a rotating shaft on the side away from the roller, and the end of the rotating arm away from the roller extends downward and is hinged to the top of the push cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the length of the roller is greater than the length of the arc surface of the gripper.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping hand includes two clamping plates, one above the other, and several guide rollers are rotatably arranged vertically between the two clamping plates.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When using this invention, the tire is transported to the input belt conveyor position via other conveying equipment, and then transported to the clamping hand position via the input belt conveyor. After the stacking height of the tires in the stacking bracket is measured by a laser rangefinder, the pallet is gradually raised to the same height as the top surface of the tires in the stacking bracket through the cooperation of photoelectric sensor switch and chain machine. Then, the clamping hand is clamped by the push cylinder and pushed onto the roller to move to the top of the tires in the stacking bracket, thus completing the entire pushing process. This allows the tires to be stacked quickly and stably in the tire stacking tower, and it is suitable for tires of various sizes. Moreover, the input and output do not require manual operation, saving a lot of manpower. Attached Figure Description
